Council agenda features $780K levy shift, 17-lot plan; advisory bodies review safety, budget calendar
Thunder Bay City Council was set to consider amending its 2026 operating budget to remove a $780,000 contribution from a reserve fund and increase the Lakehead Region Conservation Authority levy, according to the June 23 meeting agenda. The agenda also included a part-lot-control exemption to create 17 residential lots on Weiler Boulevard. Minutes from that meeting, and two other committee sessions held in late June, have not yet been published.
